Nation’s No. 1 outside linebacker includes four SEC teams in top 5

Lyndell Wilson was expected to announce his school commitment Friday, but he delayed it because of possible coaching changes, most notably the impending departure of Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart.

On Thursday, the consensus No. 1 outside linebacker in the country unveiled a top five — and the Bulldogs made the cut.

Accompanying Georgia on that list is Florida, Alabama, LSU and USC, respectively. Wilson has maintained for some time that the Gators lead for his signature, but Smart’s imminent move to Athens, Ga., could potentially affect his recruitment.

The 5-star prospect from Montgomery, Ala., still lists Alabama has his No. 2 school.
